Why work at PivotalPivotal finds people who can work on the biggest risks from advanced AI and gets them working on them. Since 2024, 135 fellows have taken part in our fellowships, and alumni now work at METR, Apollo Research, UK AISI and GovAI. We have grown from 2 staff in 2024 to 10 today, and we plan to reach at least 16 in 2027. Read more about us at pivotal-research.org, and about what it is like to work here. What you will ownYou’ll make the rest of the team faster & better by building & running the AI tools and automations behind our applications, fellow management, operations, etc. The goal is that Pivotal can run more and better programs without its team growing at the same rate. The AI safety field must grow a lot, and this will help Pivotal scale to support this growth. We expect you to spend about 30% of your time making our existing tools better and more reliable. The rest goes to new tools. You talk to team members about what costs them the most time, tools they wish existed, and ship solutions quickly. Every tool has to meet our quality bar, protect personal data, and follow data protection law and
